The owners of companies that make fake rice should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!
Fake Rice Came from China.
Stop buying anything from Chinese…
No, this is real stupid. Not the maker of fake rice but the people who could believe in it.
@@miss.l.c.minister
GOD WILL DEAL WITH THEM
Amen
@@Cizeeks God will deal with you first, for you have not cleared this silliness. Have you not thought about the capital to first produce a machine to fake rice, and thousands of tons of fake rice to sell to make money, and the consumers who would not eat your fake rice the second time. And the possibility to get sued.
Never, even in my wildest dreams, have I imagined this being something of concern.
💢 "Plastic rice" was an internet hoax and has been debunked. CZcams has a video from Dr. Oz Show's investigation on "plastic rice" and there's no truth to it! So it's ok to continue eating your rice be it Basmati, Jasmine, short or long grain!
China would like to disagree
There are many evil people in world😱😭😤
I'm leaning toward this being a fake video. I don't think anyone manufactures plastic rice. Not even the corrupt FDA would allow this.
China makes fake lettuce, fake rice, fake baby formula ... China is 1000% worse than India in this regard.
As someone who eats rice almost every day, this is especially helpful information. It disgusts me to think that food industries are adding substances to food that can easily kill people. Thank you for providing these methods of differentiation between real and fake rice.
It's all about greed , money money money
i believe the poisons in the food are a major reason for obesity. It's easier to burn flour (or rice) than it is plastic - and whatever other toxins in the food.
FAKE , FAKE , FAKE !!!
Well no one’s doing a damn thing to stop these people! It’s not going to stop itself, that’s for sure! We are a bunch of Candy Ass pansies in this country and it sickens me!
How the hell do you separate them. If you buy a box or bag of rice, how in hell do you know what percent is plastic. So once again how do you separate them from each other. This needs to be done before you cook the stuff.
I was told about this by a friend who had students from Asia stay with them. Those students told him which rice to buy because of plastic in the other rice. This is totally disgusting that our governments even let this in our countries for consumption.
so which rice to buy?

Don't trust fake news !
@@alexandrakennedy8078 but plastic rice is not a problem in Canada, is it?
It's evil that she even has to explain how to tell the difference between fake food and real food. I can't believe the level of evil that exists today.
I can ☹️
👍❤❤
No, it's essentially old and poorly stored rice that is bleached and then waxed to make it look like newer rice. It's done by swindlers to get rid of their inventory.
Careful with rooster brand garlic, oil and rice. They are fake. Chinese brand. Canada has made announcements on it b4
Real talk, this is crazy
Imagine living in times, when real rice grains are called "the original rice".
Kinda like living in times where a Supreme Court judge can’t say what a woman is because she “isn’t a biologist”.
The OG rice
I hope you know this is fake information and you're just too gullible to believe it.
Just like calling fruits and veggies "organic". They're all organic, even if they are GMO.
The word original probably has a different connotation in India
I remember this being shown to exist about 10 years ago. Someone was showing the production of plastic rice. After all this time I had dismissed that it might just be 5% or 10% of a trusted brand. I assumed it was going to be used for product photography or displays. I thought if you ever encountered it, it would be the entire bag of rice and one would be able to tell they were buying counterfeit product. This though...? Now I wonder how much I've consumed.
WTF ??? WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE FDA ?????? WE ALL NEED TO HOLD THEM ALL ACCOUNTABLE PEOPLE!!! THEY WORK FOR US !!! 😡🇺🇸✌️
The FDA NEVER cared about the people ever!!!
FAKE , FAKE , FAKE !!!
Fda is so corrupt and incompetent
FDA is a joke, they pass anything for the right price.
The USA sucks the food is killing us these greedy companies can go to hell
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN OUR WORLD? Thank you people for sharing this is absolutley nuts
There was a case in the Philippines of imported rice from CHINA. People notice a very notable appearance of the imported rice once cooked compared to the one that they used to have which were grown locally. They said that it felt and looked like plastic and the government went after the importing company who happens to be of Chinese origin living in the Philippines. That's why here in Canada I stay away from buying any type of food that's made in China.
Even those made in China costume jewelry that women use, there was an investigative report by a Canadian network that there were a high level of lead that were found on these fake jewelries. Subsequently, these jewelries were pulled out of the sales floor.
China is and has been "happening" to the world!
Low calories with plastic, addition you poop out little plastic toys..
Failure of government.
This is why factories & farms are being destroyed around the world and why we were warned to prepare for shortages,China was the main culprit.
Selling plastic rice is a different kind of evil.. Thanks for the tips

Video: “Plastic Rice vs Real Rice”
Me: “Wait! Plastic rice?!! That’s a thing??!!🤯🤢🤬”
I will be checking my rice before I set it up for long term storage. Great video, I saved it in 3 different playlists.
Can’t believe plastic rice is actually a thing .
You are so fine
It's not
It is not
It aint they say plastic rice is cheaper well plastic Made of FUCKING OIL AND WE KNOW THAT OIL IS ULTRA CHEAP
It's not
I just want some REAL food. Is that too much to ask?! I shouldn't have trust issues with my food.
we shouldn't have trust issues with so many things in life but sadly,that isn't how it is.
Have you tried farming and growing your own
Same but idrc anymore
Yes
Trinity Williams amen!
Thank you for posting this vital information. Companies that do this are beyond forgiveness.
Came here because I ended up buying a different brand rice for my business and had a horrible day because the rice took all day to cook and even at the end of 9 hrs the rice that usually took 1 hr to cook still had hard pieces in it after 9hrs. This caused customers to complain about under cook rice. Smh, I never knew it existed.
I cannot believe that people can be this evil.
people are so greedy to money
Me too
Jenny Khau it is not that people are evil, it is that they are SHAMELESS. Western thought claims "shaming people is not good". However, just look at the atrocities that occur when western thought is adopted, we see shame is not harmful to humanity and shamelessness is.
so disgusting. thanks for the tips!!
Please DON'T believe Jenny. This is complete tosh! A classic example of fake news panic, or at least, one or two incidents that have been exaggerated out of all proportion...
Time to grow own food n eat. ☺
Yes indeed
deepweb I wish everyone had access to a garden.
the seeds u got are also fake lol
deepweb unfortunately it is hard for many people but it is a must
The only commit so far I agree with. I hear ppl complaining but won’t learn how to garden and grow their own food. We Americans are so lazy and want to government to do everything when they are the ones who are approving this crap, depopulation
This video would have been really helpful if the creator listed brands of rice to buy & not buy, that really was the only reason I clicked on it bc I love Jasmine rice & was hoping that it wasn’t on the invisible list of rices that was never mentioned in this video 😂😂
You just taught me something important! Thank you!!
This is what happens when there are no food regulations, and companies are allowed to regulate themselves.
Regulators are Humans, Companies are Humans.
But, that is what greedy companies light that the prior Admin., did away with so many regulations. Not just food, but what effects the environment or product safety. Having regulations costs a business more and slows down production etc.
I can not see how this can be allowed, or that the greedy don’t even care about the health and well being of their families, loved ones, & friends.
Food has been regulated for years and they not only allow but subsidize foods with chemicals known to cause disease.
@@lsz1960 regulator are greedy as well as companies.
Greed, you want money that bad. You sell people [people] plastic to eat. SMH
I found this... it may not be plastic as much as wax: “Plastic rice is not made from plastic, it is rice that has been stored for up to 10 years and not stored particularly well. The rice had become badly contaminated with molds and instead of that nice white color, had turned into an unpleasant green color and what the fraudsters had done was they had taken that rice out of the stores and bleached it to get back the white color.
“The only problem was whenever you bleach rice it loses the nice shiny surface so to get that back they sprayed it with paraffin wax. With that paraffin coating on it, it didn’t cook properly, hence the reason it was called plastic rice.”
STILL...not something (bleach/wax) you want to eat even if this is what is going on.
Thanks very much for info
You think wrong it is made in Vietnam country, Vietnamese people make for benefit, they good at use chemistry. I saw plastic rice in market 6 years ago in Vietnam country to share to the world . Please caution from Vietnam product. There are many product as food, vegetable,meat ,seafood. you know Japan country , China , they found chemistry in seafood, vegetable , fruit they scare it because there are so much in product
Thank you for clarifying that. It seemed odd that a company would have to add a small amount of “plastic” to save money. But your explaining why makes sense. Using up old product (something that could be in the tons worth) and blending it in with fresh rice makes sense. It certainly would not be a heath hazard per say but definitely fraudulent or at least very sneaky imo.
No this was a news story they are substituting plastic in poor country's with some plastic cause its cheaper and they can make more money on it.
@@darkfox2401 plastice rice destroy your health please coution
I'm gonna try these methods. Thanks a lot for sharing this
Thank you for posting this. Much ❤ and appreciation.
Why in the world is plastic rice being sold??????? This is insane.
But thank you so much for the information.
"The art of the deal" is all about scamming people and making money.
rice is sold by weight. Plastic is cheaper than rice but can weigh the same. It's just a way to swindle a few cents out of each bag of rice sold, of which there's millions. Same reason there's sawdust in chicken nuggets.
@@bobbyjackson797 that last bit is simply not true. perhaps connective tissues yes but sawdust? that's just simply false. in one study, they found 40 different ingredients in mcnuggests, all edible and none saw dust. I cant believe people go around actually thinking this.

I bought some birds eye rice and vegetable mix in the frozen section and it comes in a steam bag, I bought two bags and cooked one bag to directions and the rice was like eating hard plastic, so I figured I didn't cook it long enough so the second bag I steamed it three times as long as directed and still like eating plastic..... so sick of food being messed with.
It is wrong to give the people plastic
So bad
I hope the government knows about this.very bad
🔥👹🔥
Eat only brown rice.

Thank you so much for sharing this information with us 😇
Thanks for letting us know (after every test), that we should NOT eat the plastic one!
OMG..INSANE...What kind of a mind would even come up with the idea of plastic rice ! ...you know damn well they wouldn't want that served to their own loved ones
@nick sweeney Mainland Chinese minds* don't drag us into this
@nick sweeney oh cool
Too many people, not enough sourse of food, so plastic food is our future. Very scary
likely a Mafia, they only care for money. I know in some places in the world, the store owners will be legally liable to distributing these things to the public as part of "prevention". I don't know if that's a "common sense" that is shared in the rest of the whole world. I'm more concerned about is ... Where's FDA in this? Isn't "Food" the F part of their association?
The same people that came up with fake eggs! Maybe the same people that push for more deregulation and Trump appointees to undermine the FDA!
I heard about this a few years back and couldn’t belive it. It is unfathomable how far greed will take people!

Thank you so much for this. I've heard of plastic IN food before but this is crazy 🤪 😳
Thanks for the video...I used two of your techniques (water and skillet test) and found my BLACK rice to be plastic! It stick to the pan. I tested the rice in the first place since it tasted chewy... Cooked it longer and the consistency never changed. I knew something was wrong then. Thank you!
Where do you live in USA? Can you tell me?
where do you live/
Plus I've notice that the grains of rice are much "smaller" than they used to be.

My father told me about this a few decades ago, he became a rice connoisseur of sorts, I didn't know until he had shown me, also Ramen became plastic as well, I knew they changed the noodle from when I went to school, they were actually good, now they taste like plastic with salt
I dont doubt there are plastic noodles, but be aware that mung bean and rice noodles can have a plastic appearance, especially when dry
Raman gives me a headache every time because it contains monosodium glutamate, which is a flavor enhancer high in sodium and GMO soy.
@@AliciaGuitar very true, I like mung beans, the chewy texture of the noodles is great, they do appear plastic, sometimes rice paper does to, wouldn't surprise me if it's plastic

Very good video. Evil
has no limits. Greed for money at the expense of the unsuspecting consumer.
Think of all the effort & cost it was to create believable fake rice ~ but after its been perfected it's cheaper for these greedy deceivers than growing rice. Plus they can say they're recycling ♻ plastics, and be rewarded for it. Bizarro world.

Thank You for this!
Never heard of this till now. I will be watching my rice from now on. This is soooo wrong on so many levels. And we wonder why we have health issues. What else are they doing to our food? Thank you.
The video is wrong on many accounts. It is probably a fake hype vid that exploits 'urban legends' of fake 'plastic' foods being in circulation. Rice in general tends to be floaty, it's unnatural for it to uniformly lie on the bottom of the bowl like that. And there is no low-tech unexpensive polymer that would soften enough when boiled to be mistaken for boiled grain. The final slide with the baking tray may be on to something - there may be some wax-like substance constituting a part of those grains, which is also unhealthy, but most of these tips won't help you find it.
Fortunately, this is not true. The video is just profiting from peoples fear.
There are many bad things with our food, but rice plastic is a made up thing.
Simple way to find plastic in rice
Just put some rice in water and observe it where it floats Or sink.
If it sinks its rice
If it floats then its plastic rice.
Yes that's a simple, quick way to separate the crap from the food
Is it really that simple
Washing the rice. Mix the rice in water, stir. Pour off the cloudy water. Rinse again till water is clear.
I use hot water
@@That.Lady.withtheYarnHow does that show it's plastic
@@jaredbackus1416 So you surely think it's that easy? That you'll just separate the real from the fake one and there you have your rice safe for consumption?

@@hayaokakizaki4463 Thank you.
I have never heard of this! wow that's freaky. thanks four the tips.
It's a myth, the person giving the demonstration on the video tampered with the rice. Google "plastic Rice Myth and you'll see lots of proof and scientific articles where they analysed thousands of samples. All fakery made initially by western racists to "prove" how Chinese and Vietnamese companies are endangering westerners by tampering with food. The myth spread to Africa and now India. Do the video test on your rice, it will show that your rice is good (because you haven't tampered with it like the fraudster did to make the video). Fact is the plastic that is supposedly contaminating rice costs far more than the rice does so adding an expensive product to a cheap product to make more money is just plain silly.
I don't remember exactly who I was talking to, but I was talking about the fact that China is now allowed to export GMO rice to the USA and the FDA didn't even test it! So, it was brought up that I have to be careful about rice now because there is plastic rice!
I thought they were crazy! "Wife says not to buy any rice from China. Plastic rice!"
I didn't know they meant LITERAL plastic!
@S̝E̝N̝A̝T̝O̝R̝ A̝G̝R̝A̝P̝A̝ Fake-News

Plastic rice was sold in the supermarkets some years ago around 2017 in malaysia. A man bought 2 packs of chicken rice. His wife took a few bites then discovered the rice wasnt chewable, she stopped eating while his husband finished the whole pack.

Thank you 😊❤️😘 for keeping me aware of fake rice. God Bless 😇
I did some research and learned there's no such thing as "plastic rice" but that it has become a kind of urban legend. There's been reports that the claims originated as follows: What was first called "Plastic Rice" is not made from plastic, it was rice that had been stored for up to 10 years and not stored particularly well. The rice had become badly contaminated with molds and instead of that nice white color, had turned into an unpleasant green color and what the fraudsters had done was they had taken that rice out of the stores and bleached it to get back the white color. The only problem was whenever you bleach rice it loses the nice shiny surface so to get that back they sprayed it with paraffin wax. With that paraffin coating on it, it didn’t cook properly, consumers noticed and reported it calling it "plastic rice". It is not now nor ever been a widescale problem. Making true plastic rice would actually cost more than the real stuff! The urban legend about it got a boost when a video showing Chinese workers chipping plastic for an industrial purpose into rice size chips went viral. What they were doing had nothing to do with rice but it was represented as proof that plastic rice was a real thing. Fake news!
Well you tell that to the FDA. Maybe they will listen to you. But then again they where the first to fined out an expensive rice was cut with plastic and was being sold to the USA.
I wish your comment would stay at the top of the page for everyone's information.
Why do people believe the myth of 'plastic rice'??? Most comments here come from very gullible people that believe everything they see on CZcams. A simple research will show you this is an old urban legend.
The problem is people would rather believe in plastic conspiracy than any rational explanation.

@@dashhill443 .......Apparently you are one of those people who blame God for everything instead of satan. God is a fair and just God. He gives us freewill. He is able to do things for us through our prayers by our faith. He is not a magician to just pop everything in existance. Could he? Of course he could. He's God , but he doesn't control us. If man suffers , it is from the consequences if man's actions. Don't blame God . There is plenty if food in the world. Blame politics. Blame greed . They are the culprits. Not God. God doesn't enjoy seeing his children suffer. God created us to love. Would you intentionally allow YOUR children to suffer? (Assuming you have any) Neither would he. He didn't have to create us at all. He didn't have to come into the world in human form (Jesus) , and suffer on the cross for OUR sins. You must have a personal relationship with him to know him and understand how much he loves us. Even then , we can never fully know everything about him , because he is perfect and without sin. We're not. We cannot fathom his glory and greatness. Our ways are not his ways , his ways are not ours. He knows everything before it happens. He see's ahead ahead what we know nothing about. I have seen many many prayers answered throughout my life. Instead of asking "Aren't the hungry kids praying hard enough" , Ask yourself "How many hungry kids ARE being fed" because of answered prayers. How many prayers have YOU prayed for them.

Thanks for this very interesting advice
APOLOGY: Let me apologize to the person who posted this video for my first comment. I shouldn't have describe it as useless; in fact I should have, and am doing it now, thank you for sharing such important information. As I reflect on my comment, I think I am hoping that someone else may come up with a way to identify the plastic rice without having to buy it. Thanks for your understanding. Blessings!
What is said in this video is 100 💯 true. This plastic rice she is talking about is true. I ate it 5 years ago unknowingly. It's an experience that I will never forget.
Plastic rice is our market . May GOD help us all
I was thinking the same thing as I listened to the video....How would a person know BEFORE BUYING THE RICE!!!! The video is only informative to a degree but it doesn't help the buyers...we still lose money because YOU nor I can know the difference before making the purchase...which is the real issue.
Know how to identify rice which is not good for you? On the label it will say
white rice", or "polished rice". White rice is rice which has had all the nutritious parts stripped off. So at best, it is about worthless anyway
Buy brown wholegrain rice, then you wont have these problems
not all the informations are correct, only the last part is correct. there are so many veriety of rice, some have lots of starch which create sticky substance when cooking and some older rice will keep floating for a longer time than newly harvest rice. now i don't buy rice from supermarket. i buy rice directly from farmers.
@@davidjp7197 Exactly
Realizing I needed to see this video FOUR years ago!!!
Thank you for this information!
Thank you for this information.
For anyone interested this started with fake rice versus real rice. Fake rice grains are extruded material made from rice, rice castings, and other grain. No plastic. In fact, plastic would interfere with processing. The fake rice is made similar to imitation crab...which is used globally. Fake rice ingredients were originally used as feed. As rice prices have risen sharply, this form of a rice based food hit the shelves. The difference in cooking, the response to heating, and burning smells are the caused by chaff and other grains in the mixture.
That this scare started with Chinese products was no surprise since they had been caught introducing plastic into animal food two decades ago. There are stories of Chinese baby food containing adulteratants. Many of these were confirmed by SE Asian labs in areas where the products were sold.
Thanks very helpful infos.
China AGAIN?
still... it is FAKE RICE!!! If I buy rice I want it to be rice, not something else...
I recently warned up my rice after cooking it. I set the timer to 2 minutes and it caught fire in the microwave! I’m sure it was plastic!
I bet you are right. Hope you were not injured.
thank you for sharing this information with us
Thank you for this video🙏
Thank you for making this video. I asked my husband to buy a 50 lb bag of rice from the big box store for emergency food. He came home and said it was not good. He said the ingredients listed rice followed by chemical ingredients. I guess it was this fake rice you are referring to.
Thank you! I was wondering if there was something on the label that might be an indication of fake rice. Thank your husband too for being so observant!!
Expert who says it could have been actual rice that had been poorly stored for up to a decade.
Chris Elliott, professor of food safety and founder of the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast, said he has been investigating rice fraud for a number of years.
“That all started off by lots of reports coming from different parts of the world about what was called plastic rice. People were claiming that they were being sold rice that was made from plastic. As someone who studies food fraud I was quite interested in this,” he told Food Safety News while he was in Edinburgh to meet the head of the Scottish Food Crime and Incidents Unit (SFCIU).
“The first thing, when we looked at the economics, actually plastic is more expensive than rice so you (know) it is not made from plastic. Then you think why would people think they are eating rice made from plastic? It took quite a long time to uncover what we think was going on and I spent some time in South East Asia asking lots of questions.
“Plastic rice is not made from plastic, it is rice that has been stored for up to 10 years and not stored particularly well.

@ M Leys, omg! Thank you SO much for posting this information! It may not be plastic, but I still don’t want to be eating that stuff!
Smart man!
@@mleys3248 I remember in dia had stored rice as there was supposed to be a shortage of food or recession . Didn't happen and the rice they stored was not stored right and had went mouldy . Think water had got in to it .This was a good few years ago .
I never knew plastic rice existed. Wow.
Thank You for your information.😲
I started reading labels years ago. So many "filler" products out there.
The parmasean cheese in the shaker has wood cellulose! I'm not a termite, so I now grate my own parmasean.
What's the brand name of the plastic rice. It would be helpful to know.
The author most likely doesn't know, just spews what is given to her.
Uncle Bens, is one for sure
Expert who says it could have been actual rice that had been poorly stored for up to a decade.
Chris Elliott, professor of food safety and founder of the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast, said he has been investigating rice fraud for a number of years.
“That all started off by lots of reports coming from different parts of the world about what was called plastic rice. People were claiming that they were being sold rice that was made from plastic. As someone who studies food fraud I was quite interested in this,” he told Food Safety News while he was in Edinburgh to meet the head of the Scottish Food Crime and Incidents Unit (SFCIU).
“The first thing, when we looked at the economics, actually plastic is more expensive than rice so you (know) it is not made from plastic. Then you think why would people think they are eating rice made from plastic? It took quite a long time to uncover what we think was going on and I spent some time in South East Asia asking lots of questions.
“Plastic rice is not made from plastic, it is rice that has been stored for up to 10 years and not stored particularly well. The rice had become badly contaminated with molds and instead of that nice white color, had turned into an unpleasant green color and what the fraudsters had done was they had taken that rice out of the stores and bleached it to get back the white color.

Any rice from China. Don’t buy the cheapest brands at the store.
It is made in China usually for domestic consumption. You should not find any in main brand rice. Rice sent to Africa may well contain plastic. Fake medicines are also frequently sent all around the world, especially Africa. That kills a huge number of people.
Instead of quizzing us why don't you give us the brand names of the plastic rice so that we can be careful
dude, If you find plastic rice, i will use the same weight rice exchange with you ~
I swear to God and Jesus and Allah and Sakyamuni
I know right 🙅♀️
Yes that's right, I agree
Was just going to say the same thing. Seems a waste to be testing/wasting all your rice to see if it’s real when someone could just tell us which brands to avoid. What’s so hard about naming names? Unless it’s fake news.
@@starrycard7960 whats so hard is the amount of different countries people live in, that result in an even vaster amount of brands that is almost uncountable at that point
I'm glad you made this video,
THANKS DEAR. POINT NOTED.
The worst part is, I'm not even surprised that people will sink to this level of evil
I never knew this actually happens. Thank you so much for this video.
Thanks for waking people up
Thanks for sharing. Very educational. These people who sell plastic rice should be prosecuted.
Thank you soooooo much for this video. Gonna go check mine right now. If its plastic, the grocery store is gonna hear it from me!
@@annewilson9301 People forget there are several different kinds of rice in the world, different types of rice cook differently and have different densities. This looks like long grain rice and short grain rice, one of them has more starch than the other one. Some rice is fortified with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to combat malnutrition in people who eat rice as a dietary staple.
OMG the things humans does because of GREED to make MONEY! PURE EVIL!!
Google "plastic rice", it is a myth. You're smart enough to check things for yourself rather than believing every silly story you hear on the internet. I hope you are anyways....
This moss limbayter seems to be one of plastic rice producers
No Nancy, I am a retied appliance service tech who unlike you, has the capability of thought. I offered you a Google search phrase that you don't bother looking at because you are too brainwashed by false news like this that you swallow lies rather making a tiny attempt at educating yourself. Your thirst for conspiracies and denial of truth seems to have turned your brain to mush. Here are a few proofs for you; but I doubt you will look into them because that would burst your bubble of fakeness.
It has been proven to be a myth many times. This video is a fake using rice that was tampered with in order prove a lie.

Bobbie Hocog it cost more to make plastic rice than to grow regular rice. Rice is so easy to grow and cheap. You really believe this?

"I am a retied appliance service tech who unlike you, has the capability of thought."
A retired appliance service tech who has the capability of "thought"... riiiiight.... you come across more like a shill.
I found many in It's really easy to identify them
How would you try those methods in the store?
The trouble is that it is often mixed and used as an extender to save money
Richard Eemelie, we should have known about this. it reminds of shampoo when it says pure coconut and then you find out its lab made coconut scent but the soap is still expensive.
I thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been trying to figure out how to tell them apart and you delivered. Again, Thanks!!
Just read the ingredients list. If there’s things you can’t pronounce, don’t buy it.
Thanks for this information 😮 .
Thanks for the tips. But how to separate mixed (adulterated plastic) rice with original rice? I know it’s hard to separate them.
Thank you for this video I'm sure it will help so many people, its helped me💓
Very informative. Thank you.
Are there specific brands we know of for sure??
Thanks for sharing this information.
